“A must do for anyone visiting the city. Our guide took us to some local spots we wouldn’t have thought to go to. Ducky had been doing the tour for years and all the spots knew her well. Catered for myself (meat eater) and partner (pescatarian) without issue. The tour didn’t just show us great local places to eat but also thought us gestures like “cheers”. Driver was very friendly and on hand to pick us up and sat down for the final meal with us.”

“this is just a perfectly fun activity. A mix of food from a nice restaurant to street food via insects and then a beer and game of pool to finish. We felt really safe on the back of the scooters. The tour was great but our two guides Tintin and Ka really made it excellent (other than beating us a pool). The tour was a great way to see the city at night and to try some true local food. Would definitely recommend”
